🚨I am in the most delightful position of having a postdoc land a faculty job! Which means I will be looking to hire at least one new postdoc this cycle! More to come soon but if you're interested feel free to email me or come say hi at @isdp.org in a week or two!

Coming up on 1 month post-surgery, have completed 60 days of EMA, 20 sessions of MRI, 16 sessions of fNIRS, 20 sessions of EEG, not to mention blood, saliva, and a host of other data collection. It's been super fun to hang out with folks in my colleagues' labs. (Also a little exhausting!)

How good is the MR data we'll be sharing as part of this deep phenotyping study? So good that someone asked if Jonathan was sedated while viewing his resting-state data collection 😆 Watch this space!
I’m scheduled for surgery today on my Achilles tendon, followed by 2 weeks of no weight bearing.😵💫
So, like any good scientist, I got together 7 colleagues to study consequences of limb disuse.

I am BEYOND grateful & honestly still in shock about the lovely comments from the anonymous external letter writers on my tenure case! I don't know who I'm thanking, but I hope you see this and know that I will treasure these always and they meant the world to get (we see anon. quotes)! THANK YOU!
I submitted tenure materials! There is so much to be done still, but I am proud of what we've done already since 2020. I am more grateful than I have words for my lab members, my mentors, my family. May there be many more full and fulfilling years ahead in this academy.

Incredibly chuffed to share I've been selected as the 2026 APA Boyd McCandless Award winner for Division 7! It is a distinct privilege to work in the name of carrying on Boyd's legacy of deep investment in the development of youth and his own mentees through his science. I will do my very best.

There is an entire cohort of students who will never have the same opportunities as others because of this last-minute posting.The honorable & sensible thing to do is to announce these criteria to begin NEXT CYCLE and keep the criteria from past years for the applications due in ONE MONTH. FUMING!
Announcing such a major change to NSF GRFP this late in the cycle is incredibly cruel. 2nd yr students (mine included) have been working so hard on their proposals despite ongoing uncertainty. They are driven and passionate about being outstanding scientists and helping those coming up behind them.

We're excited to use @magstimegi.bsky.social to help us understand literal day-to-day changes in the brain as the body heals itself and recovers limb function!
We are using multiple modalities — including MRI, EEG, fNIRS, blood, saliva, accelerometry—to study mental health, brain plasticity, fitness, and more. I've been doing baseline measurements regularly for the past month, and will continue these during recovery.
